Buzuruna Juzuruna - Supporting agroecology in Lebanon - About

Lebanese association and School-Farm, active since 2016 and registered in 2018, based in Saadnayel, Beqaa. The 2 hectars farm is specialized in the selection and multiplication of heirloom seeds, from a collection gathering more than 300 ancient and local varieties. The farm produces organic vegetables, fruits, dairies, honey, processed-food, and natural preparations (fertilizers and biopesticides). Every year, BJ's training center welcomes training cycles for different audiences: local farmers and gardeners, vulnerable families, children classes, etc. taught about the various topics of agro-ecology (soil management, natural fertilization, pests and diseases management, etc). In 2018, a full curriculum was created in Arabic, that is now available in open-source.
Finally, BJ is working as agricultural expert on agroecology for many different projects, both within funded-projects and on a volunteer basis.
